Fact finder<br />
helen lewis<br />
A fun-filled collection of facts aimed at children in the intermediate school phase (grades 4<br />
– 6). It is a basic, but ge<strong>ne</strong>ral, reference book integrating all areas of the national curriculum:<br />
Arts and Culture; Economic & Management Sciences (EMS); Language; Life Orientation<br />
(LO); Mathematics; Natural Sciences; Social Sciences (History and Geography) and Technology.<br />
In addition to the basic information that will also be taught at school, each section<br />
contains loads of interesting asides, references to other sources of information, and suggestions<br />
for things to do and places to visit. Parents have a huge selection of books to choose<br />
from for younger children, and there are many studyguides available for high schoolers,<br />
but this age group has been <strong>ne</strong>glected with hardly any references aimed at their level.<br />
With over 600 photographs and commissio<strong>ne</strong>d illustrations, this book is an indispensable<br />
companion for every child who will lap up the information and have fun sharing the facts.<br />

A happy human brain<br />
dr pierre van der spuy<br />
People who remain happy whether they enjoy enormous success or face painful disasters,<br />
possess, in their brains, a core of stability and optimism. This book is a practical guide on<br />
what these people do on a daily basis to achieve this. As the first book for the layperson<br />
that combi<strong>ne</strong>s groundbreaking research in the major fields of science aimed at understanding<br />
the human condition, it will shatter many of your convictions on what makes us human,<br />
happy and authentically successful. Specifically, the book addresses three main questions:<br />
• What steps can we take to be more happy today?<br />
• Why does an obsession with material success rob us of our happi<strong>ne</strong>ss and humanity?<br />
• How do parenting in early childhood and our culture influence our happi<strong>ne</strong>ss and humanity?<br />
“A must read.” Frank M. Dattilio (Ph.D., ABPP), Harvard Medical School.<br />
